HCB Chapter 106 There are guests
Chapter 106 There are guests
This winter was not too cold and there was no snow throughout the entire winter.
As summer approaches, Boshishan is about to start school.
Since Xiuyi was abducted by the Blood God Cult half a year ago, he has finally uncovered the mystery of this world.
After becoming a member of the ruling class, Shuichi could more or less understand their way of thinking.
This is like everyone in modern times knows that monopoly will cause many adverse consequences, but if a modern person is asked to choose between monopolizing himself and unconditionally giving all his high-tech means of production to the country, that person will most likely not choose the latter... anyway... he has to try to struggle a bit...
If you really can't resist...then you have to at least talk about the conditions, right?
If the Awakener route is completely opened, it is very likely that some emerging civilian geniuses will act recklessly because they are dissatisfied with the status quo.
It was just like Huang Chao who found out after entering Chang'an that it was much easier to break into Chang'an than to pass the exam to get in.
The Moshustan Empire is vast and has a large population, so there might be such powerful people among them.
In addition, if the truth is suddenly told to the public, it will inevitably cause panic...
Shadow beasts can appear around anyone at any time. Who wouldn't be afraid?
Therefore, it is inevitable to recruit a small number of grassroots elites and conceal the truth from the general public.
By doing this, they don’t have to worry about anyone challenging their rule, and they can selectively absorb the elites. The only ones who suffer are the people at the bottom.
But then again, the wolf should just eat the sheep, why should it care whether the sheep are happy or not?
The day before the entrance day, a middle-aged male scholar came to Horcas Castle with a girl who was no more than 16 years old.
Hocas accompanied the guests and led them to the light-filled reception room.
The maids served tea and snacks and then left.
This middle-aged male scholar is an iron-ring scholar named Lang Qing'er, who usually exchanges letters with Bo Kelangqi.
The two sides are still very familiar with each other.
Through Boko Langchi's conversation with the other party, Shuichi learned that the two guests were from the neighboring Araki Town.
Araki Town is the territory of Baron Wilga.
According to Master Bocolanqi, before the first day of school each year, scholars will send those who are preparing to take the entrance test to the designated location.
The Bozhi Society will dispatch transportation to the agreed station to welcome students to Bozhi Mountain.
Well, the boarding location is in the other world... and you must be a noble in the Dark Gold Pool to apply for the boarding station in advance.
Baron Wilga's territory was not very rich, and there was no dark gold pool, so he could only borrow from the Hocas family...
Unlike Xiuyi, who has made a lot of money in the past six months, Luo Village has already applied to establish a dark gold pool, but it still takes another half a year to queue up...
Of course, you have to pay to get on the bus, but no one talks about money openly. However, the other party was very considerate and gave a gift worth about 1000 gold dragons in advance.
What surprised Shuichi was that the girl who came with the middle-aged scholar was wearing a cloak made of animal fur.
You know, it's barely midsummer now, and I'm wearing an animal skin...
Style issues aside, isn't she hot?
And the girl in animal skins...seems a little familiar...
After thinking for a while, Shuichi finally remembered.
When they passed through Baron Wilga's Araki Town, although they did not enter the town, they encountered the city guards patrolling while camping in the wild.
They were looking for a strange man wearing animal skins... If nothing unexpected happens... this girl might be related to that strange man...
This girl's appearance can only be described as average, and it doesn't meet Shuichi's aesthetic standards.
Through the conversation between the middle-aged scholar and old man Bocolanchi and Mrs. Monica, Shuichi learned a lot of interesting information.
It turns out that the girl's name is Kalia, the eldest daughter of Baron Verga.
Half a year ago, out of curiosity, he made a silver-level creation and became a level 4 awakener.
This would have been a good thing, but the creature Kalia had originally created was a parasitic creature... the animal skin on her body.
The animal skin couldn't be taken off after it became infested... well, it wasn't completely impossible to take off.
It's okay to take it off temporarily for an hour.
Once the time exceeds one hour, the animal skin will automatically return to Kalia's body.
Fearing that her father would blame her, Kalia took some property from home and ran away...
There is no need to say much about what happened afterwards. Although Kalia ran away from home, how could a young lady like her with little life experience go far?
At noon the next day, the guards found Kalia lost in the woods, tired, hungry and thirsty...
So you can't buy a map before you leave home?
At least bring some more food and drinks!
"Since then, Kalia has become very silent..." The middle-aged scholar sighed, looking at Kalia who was silent beside him with his head down, his eyes full of regret: "The parasitic item is an experimental topic proposed by the Golden Ring University scholar Mo Liqi in recent years. It is unknown how many years it will take to conquer this topic... If it is forcibly destroyed, one of Kalia's summoning positions will be permanently locked..."
Due to the intrusion of mysterious forces, the Society of Knowledge can currently be roughly divided into two factions.
The conservative technology faction and the magic faction that only appeared forty-five years ago.
Strictly speaking, the two factions once had a split, and at the worst time they almost went to war.
But now the two families have long since put aside their past grudges and are working together to overthrow the Church of Light.
While the three scholars were chatting, Shuichi was also saying goodbye to his parents.
Luo Zhenxiu and Jie Na were very reluctant to let their son go on a long journey, but they thought that their son could gain knowledge and make friends with the rich and powerful by going to the Knowledge Society, and there was a high probability that he could also come into contact with the Demigod Pool of the Knowledge Society...
The couple felt less sad when they thought that the separation was for the good of their son.
Luo Zhenxiu, who was sitting next to his son, patted Xiuyi on the shoulder and encouraged him to study hard and not miss home after going to Boshi Mountain.
Jenna, who was sitting next to Luo Zhenxiu, was looking at her son with a silly smile on her slightly bulging belly.
Jenna is three months pregnant.
The construction of the two new villages has been preliminarily completed, and each village has more than a thousand serfs engaged in industries related to incense-making raw materials.
By making incense, Xiuyi earned tens of thousands of gold royals every month.
If it didn't take too long to apply for the dark gold pool, how could he have only two Caters with him?
"Don't worry, uncle and aunt, I'm very familiar with Boshishan, I will take good care of little brother Xiuyi~~" Monica, who was sitting across the table, put down the red teacup and assured Luo Zhenxiu and Jie Na with a smile.
As soon as the couple saw Monica, their eyes curved with smiles.
Compared to Lilith, the couple actually likes Monica more.
There is nothing else to say, it’s mainly because Monica is much smarter than Lilith, and the child she will give birth to in the future will definitely not be bad.
As for Lilith...
In fact, Lilith has been following the parental route since she met Luo Zhenxiu and Jenna.
According to Madam Bulma, Shuichi is a filial child. As long as Lilith can take down Shuichi's parents, Shuichi will never be able to escape from your clutches.
Although Lilith is cutely silly, she is not so dumb that she can’t recognize who is in charge of the family.
Compared to Hocas, what mother Bulma says is more likely to gain Lilith's trust.
Unfortunately, there is a saying that goes "Comparing people makes you die, and comparing goods makes you throw them away..."
